Everrati, a restoration and electromod firm from the UK, says that its international expansion is well on its way, and points to this handsome Land Rover Series IIa, the first it has ever made for an American customer, as a clear sign of that.
The vehicle is based on a 1971 Series IIa that was first restored to like new condition. Then, Everrati went about modifying it, removing the engine and replacing it with electric motors that offer 150 hp (112 kW/152 PS) and 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) of torque. Both two- and all-wheel-drive are available, and a 60 kWh battery pack provides the classic SUV with a range of 150 miles (241 km).
And Everrati wasn’t horsing around when it came to the finer details on this project. Finished in a paint color called limestone, it also got a new canvas roof as part of its refurbishment, as well as classic bench seating, and a wooden steering wheel plays against the teak flooring at the back of the vehicle.

Built for a buyer identified only as Craig, the vehicle is being referred to as “The Polo Commission,” because its new owner owns a corporate and equestrian law practice. As such, it was handed over to him at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Florida.
“The vehicle is a work of art, both from a design and engineering point of view,” said Craig. “I am extremely proud to be able to say I am the first to own an electric Land Rover in the United States.”
Everrati is also quite excited about delivering its first electric Land Rover to the U.S., having recently established a North American headquarters. Plying its trade since 2019, the company was founded by Justin Lunny and Nick Williams, and has also equipped classic Porsche 911s and Mercedes SLs with electric powertrains.
